The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
